Excerpt from The Herald of the Golden Age, Vol. 4: October 15, 1899 I have been frequently told that when my children leave my immediate care they will become meat-eaters. This I do not believe, because in every such case that I have investi gated I have found that fish, ¿esh and fowl have been frequent items of the menus of some members of the household in which they have been reared. The sense of smell has at least been forcibly made tolerant of the odours of both raw and cooking ¿esh. A thorough knowledge of cookery and an intelligent selection of foods, carried out with an eye to nutritiousness, variety and individual tastes, are, of course, essentials to the successful introduction of Vegetarianism into the home. There should be as little deviation from the original dietary as possible, save an increase in variety. Meals should be meals in kitchen and dining room, not odd scratches and picnicky put-offs. Every customary dish of ¿esh-meat should be substituted with a savoury equivalent, and every innocent dish retained, but improved upon when possible. If for breakfast the changes have been rung upon eggs and bacon, cold ham, hot toast. Porridge, boiled milk and coffee and cocoa, then the porridge, toast, coffee, cocoa and poached eggs must be retained, while pancakes, savoury golden-brown fritters of yesterday's preparation, fried eggs and tomatoes on toast, fried mushrooms and such like dainties must substitute the bacon and ham. And see that the servants in the kitchen are equally well catered for. But if the porridge is thoroughly cooked and tempting in flavour and appearance, the bread of good wholemeal, and there he on the table fresh ripe fruits in summer, and tenderly stewed dried fruits and baked apples in the winter, it will be found that the savouries will be gradually discarded.
